"How exactly do you want me to get stronger? Let me guess, do you want me to kill more people?" Ronan asked sarcastically.
(That would certainly be faster, but there is another way for you to get stronger.)
Before Ronan could ask of the method, a system message popped up.
[A new section of the system has been unlocked. Quest has been made accessible to the user.]
"Quest? What's that?" Asked Ronan.
(Well as the name implies, they are the quest you'll be given, either daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly. Failure to complete is not an option.) Vesper explained.
"Why are you the one explaining this to me? Why is the system so quiet? Normally the system gives me a detailed explanation of what I need to know, even if it hides somethings most of the time." Ronan asked Vesper, demanding for an explanation.
( Do you really prefer a monotonous voice answering your questions to me who clearly has a conscious?) Vesper asked, and Ronan could just tell he has a blank face on him at the moment.
'Wait does he even have a face?' Ronan asked
'And what's the deal with this skill Shadow heart? I feel so strange. In fact, I don't even feel a thing. I wonder what I look like at the moment now that my charm has increased.' Ronan pondered.

"Hmmm. Push ups, sit ups and squats. Basic exercises that I can't do." Ronan said shaking his head.
(What do you mean you can't do it.) Vesper asked, confused
"I'm too weak. This is impossible for me at the moment." Ronan explained.
(That's bull shit. Well you can decide not to do it, you just have to face the punishment for failure.) Vesper said not caring.
"And what will happen if I don't complete the quest?" Ronan asked with his eyebrow raised.
(I guess you'll have to fail it and find out. But trust me, you'll not like it one bit.) Vesper answered snickering.
Ronan sighed not wanting to find out what this mad man had in store for him if he fails the daily quest.
He got down on the floor and decided to proceed. He started with the push ups.
"1, 2, 3, 4, 5.....27, 28, 29, 30....72, 73, 74....." Ronan counted as he continued with the push ups which he was doing easily to his utmost surprise.
"148, 149, 150. Done." Ronan said with a sigh as he got up. As he finished, he proceeded to do the sit ups, then the squats, it was now to run 2km and to lift 100kg.
Ronan thought about it long and hard about it and decided on what to do. He began running around the dump site. He kept running and running until he saw the notification he wanted to see.
[Quests:
Daily:
-Do 150 push ups ✓
-Do 150 sit ups ✓
-Do 150 squats ✓
-Run a distance of 2km✓
-Lift up a weight of 250kg]
It was now remaining to lift up a weight of 100kg. Now considering that he was in a dump site and there was scrap metal of all sizes everywhere he reckoned that he would complete the task easily, if lifting 250kg is considered easy.
He started wondering around the dump site searching for a heavy enough metal he can lift up, or attempt to lift.
He wondered for about 20 minutes till he found something. He saw a large piece of metal which he tried to lift up.
As he grabbed hold of the metal, he tried lifting it up but it wouldn't budge. He tried again using all his might, veins bulged out from his arm as he gritted his teeth. The heavy metal was lifted up, but only a little. As he dropped it , he checked if the task had been completed.
[Lift up a weight of 250kg. 150/250kg]
On seeing this, Ronan sighed and decided to try again. He grabbed hold of the piece of metal once again, and he tried lifting it.
As he tried once again, he succeeded in lifting it, this time slightly higher than he did before. He grunted as he dropped the metal to the ground, a system message popped up.
[Congratulations on completing your first daily task. As a reward, there will be an additional +2 in every stat.]

"So it actually works." Ronan said a little bit surprised that he got rewarded for doing the daily quest.
(What do you mean by that? Of course it works. After all I want you to become stronger.) Vesper responded after being accused of lying.
"For someone who killed children so mercilessly, you really do like to be praised don't you?" Ronan asked as he heard Vesper's response.
Vesper remained silent not daring to answer that question. At the moment he was wondering if it was because of the skill he gifted to the boy during his panic attack that was making him talk back like this, or was this how he normally talked.
"Put all the points in strength." Ronan said without hesitation.

Ronan saw that his strength stat really did increase, so he decided to test it out.
He looked at the heavy piece of metal and attempted in carrying it again.
As he tried lifting it up, it was still heavy, but it wasn't as hard as it was when he carried it the first time. He even managed to lift it till his waist level this time.
"So that's all it takes huh? I guess all I have to do is to complete the daily quests without fail." He said. "But first, I have to get out from this place before they trace Henry and his gang members death to me."
(There is a way that you can use to avoid all this. Well let's not say avoid, a way it wouldn't bother you.) Vesper chimed in after being silent for a while.
"I already know what you're going to say." Ronan said with a sigh.
"And I agree with you really considering the mess you put me into. I have to get stronger. And I have to do it fast." Ronan said clenching his fist.
